Uneven nasolabial folds when I smile, can filler help? (photo)

September 12, 2016
Asked By:linda11atl in Atlanta, GA

I have an issue that bothers me a lot. I have deep uneven nasolabial folds that are very apparent when smiling. They are most apparent in photos (not as much in person) and it bothers me to the point of avoiding photos all together. I understand that I have bone asymmetry in my cheeks which causes the issue. My question is can filler help? I do not want surgery. Also, I do have some (Voluma) filler in the upper cheekbone area currently, it has not affected the areas in question at all.

Dear rebecca,Hylauronic acids fillers are wonderful and safe for the face. They do not leave a residue on the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is found naturally in the deep skin. After being injected the product naturally gets broken down by the body. If it is not completely broken...

Hello, and thanks for your question. Restylane is one of the least hydrophilic fillers, which is why I often use it in tear troughs and lips. Hope this opinion is helpful to you. Best of luck, Dr. Frucht.
